Edge of Darkness (2010)
Director Martin
Campbell remakes a 1980s British TV mini series he directed which
this time stars Mel Gibson, Ray Winston and Danny Huston. A young
woman returns to Boston to visit her policeman father only to be shot
on his door step.
Set thirty years after
the end of the Cold war which was pivotal to the setting of the
original story this adaptation works really well shifting the setting
to the present day. Conspiracy thrillers can be hard to pull off
without completely leaving the realms of believability but this film
manages to stay with in reasonable limits. There are some really good
characters and all in all this is an excellent thriller.
4/5
